Savage 2 Enters Beta

S2 Games is developing and publishing the sequel to their ambitious online action RTS , Savage: The Battle for Newearth independently, so the sequel will go into beta when they say so. They say so. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is now entering the beta testing stage for pre-order customers. What this means is that if you put money down on the game, you'll get a chance to participate in the final testing stages before release. This isn't a try before you buy situation at all - you pay full price and commit to buy the game upon release, going on to help them tune the game for the general public. An odd sort of arrangement, but with S2's focus on community involvement, not a surprising one. They want committed fans with an interest in seeing Savage 2 be the best it can be. I'm just glad the game is nearing release, as I've been looking forward to it since GDC back in March. More »

Clip: The Wizard TV Spot

I've seen a lot commercials in my time, but a commercial for a commercial? OK, so The Wizard was a movie, but it's widely regarded as being a ninety minute commercial for Nintendo which, essentially, it was. Now I invite you to set your Way Back Machines to 1989 and enjoy the awesome Nintendo thrill ride that is The Wizard. Free Nintendo Pocket Power Magazine while supplies last... awesome!

Savage 2: A Tortured Soul

At GDC I got a chance to sit down with a couple of the fine fellows at S2 Games to take a look at the sequel to Savage: The Battle for Newerth, the innovative title that mixed together elements of RTS and FPS to create a new, dynamic experience that catered to the tastes of a large range of online gamers. One player took the role of the commander, issuing orders to the troops in the field, who battled it out in real time combat. More »

The Wizard Hits DVD

What happens when some genius Hollywood exec decides to take the story of 'Rain Man' and apply it to video games? Ah, The Wizard. It's just so bad. And we don't mean that as an 80's style slang term for 'good'. More »

The Wizard's Coming to DVD!

Hey radical dudes! Dust off those Powergloves. 1Up brings news of the most important DVD release of our era. The Wizard will be released on August 29th on digital disc. The campy classic starred a young Fred Savage (he'll always be young in my book) as he, his half-brother and a run-away hitchhike to a game tourney in California. Along the way, they encounter a very special peripheral that merits its own catch phrase: "I love the Powerglove. It's so bad."—Brian Ashcraft More »
